[CA] [CA11] Using an old transducer with a new plotter

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

spellegrin,

Q1. I'm sorry to say that I'm still a bit confused. If I use adapter cable A80496 with my existing B60 transducer, I will see pretty much the same sonar display as I currently do on my E120W, yes?
A1. Correct.

Q2. If I connect a CPT-120 will I be able to generate downvision and sidevision displays, or still be limited to "basic" sonar?
A2. Not quite correct. When interfaced to a DownVision transducer, the MFD will support DownVision and low power high frequency conical CHIRP sonar imaging (see the imaging supported by Raymarine's CP100 DownVision Sounder Module. If your B60 transducer is additionally interfaced to the MFD per the previously referenced adapter then the MFD would support 600W 50kHz/200kHz imaging akin to that which had been supported by your E120W. If seeking SideVision and/or RealVision 3D sonar imaging capability, then it would be recommend that a RealVision Transducer / Transducer Pair be installed instead of a DownVision transducer. The latte would then support RealVision 3D, SideVision, and DownVision as well as 50kHz/200kHz sounding should the B60 transducer additionally be interfaced to the the Axiom Pro RV MFD.
